Muslims of 2 Worlds, a new kind of dating mobile application designed to foster conversation and connections between Muslims living in the Western world today, this week announced the app will be available for download and usage October 1, 2017.

Born from a passion to create an app that is curated specifically for Muslim individuals looking to find a lifelong companion in the Islam faith, Muslims of 2 Worlds is different from other dating apps because it prioritizes a group of people who are often left out of most dating platforms.

“The idea for Muslims of 2 Worlds came about a few months ago when my friend told me that it was impossible for her to find someone through today’s modern dating techniques,” said Hania Merhi, Founder and Owner of Muslims of 2 Worlds. “Marriage is an incredibly important foundational principal in Islam, and she wanted to be able to find a partner without having to make consistent effort from a religious standpoint. In this day and age, the kind of Tinder options available to some should be available to everyone, but tailored to respect the muslim customs and requirements.”

Marriage requirements in the Islamic world place immense pressure on individuals to find a lifelong match who will share in their faith. As such, Muslims of 2 Worlds is geared more so towards dating for marriage, instead of hook-ups or other common cultural connections found on dating apps today. The app is set up like most dating apps, with a swipe right and left feature to match, then two connection patterns to come together and chat. When a mutual connection is made, the color assigned to each profile combines for a united colored pattern.

Each profile is verified through a phone call and a selfie verification process to ensure real people are using the app. Users can also opt to have their pictures blurred until there is a match, as well as identify what kind of religious practice level they are interested in.

“Users can only chat with one person at a time to ensure quality communication and connections between individuals,” said Merhi. “All of the chats go to a chaperone of the user’s choosing. Respecting the islamic requirements, the user can choose the option of having all the chats forwarded to a chaperon. This is a new kind of mobile dating concept that is greatly needed by the Western Muslim community, and it’s going live everywhere this October.”
